Come build with us! Role and Responsibilities Perform semiconductor engineering research, design, development, and testing for firm products and devices in conjunction with product development for the electronic communications industry. Drive the verification efforts of Samsung's advanced GPU design to deliver market-leading standards of quality and reliability. Collaborate with architects, design engineers, and other verification team members, and lead the development of comprehensive verification strategies and methodologies. Lead and develop verification plans based on Samsung's GPU architecture specifications and design requirements. Define verification strategies, methodologies, and metrics to ensure thorough validation of the GPU functionality. Lead the development of advanced verification environments and testbenches using System Verilog and UVM (Universal Verification Methodology). Implement constrained random testing, coverage-driven verification, and assertion-based verification techniques. Solve challenging problems and ensuring comprehensive functional and performance coverage by creating complex test scenarios and test cases to validate GPU features, performance, and functionality. Debug efforts to identify and resolve design issues and performance bottlenecks. Drive cross functional collaboration with design and software teams to analyze failures and implement corrective actions. Implement automation scripts and tools to streamline verification processes, improve efficiency, and reduce time-to-market. Drive teams to work towards verification closure by achieving coverage goals (functional coverage, code coverage, etc.) and sign-off criteria. Generate comprehensive verification reports and documentation.
